 1 Red Onion
 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
 250 g Queso Fresco (cheese)
 ¼ cup Olive Oil
 ¾ cup Melted Butter
 6 Cloves of Garlic
 Kosher Salt
 Cracked Black Pepper
BBQ Rub
 1 part Kosher Salt
 1 part Cracked Black Pepper
 1 part Brown Sugar
Prepare
1

Pre heat BBQ Smoker to 275F. Finely chop the garlic cloves and combine
with the olive oil and butter in a heat proof ramekin or bowl and
place in the smoker, stirring to combine once butter is melted.

2

Lightly oil, then season (washed) portobello mushrooms and then
add them to the smoker to cook.

3

Dice the tomatoes and onion, rough chop the basil and combine in a
bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Crumble
the cheese into a bowl and set salsa and cheese aside in the fridge.

Cook
4

Baste mushrooms on all sides several times during the cook using the
garlic butter and oil blend until the mushrooms reach 200F internal
temperature and then remove from smoker.

5

Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly before pulling them into strips
or chunks.

Serving
6

Place the strips of smoker cooked mushrooms onto the taco, top with
fresh salsa and cheese to serve.

Notes
7

Add a smoking chip box with hickory or pecan wood chips to
promote extra smokey flavour into the mushroom if desired. Feta
Cheese is a good replacement if Queso Fresco isn’t handy. Add a
drizzle of hot sauce to spice it up (to taste).
